Abstract

Surface topography and the relationship of friction forces versus load forces between silicon nitride tips and mesoporous silica were investigated. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used in our investigation. Mesoporous silicas of different porosity were used. The relative friction coefficients were determined for a silicon nitride tip against both dry and lubricated silicas. Relative friction coefficient values for lubricated surfaces are about two times lower than for dry surfaces.
